(Cold…


    So cold…


    I have to keep my consciousness,


    Why this Lyra do this to me?


    Is it to show me how she felt floating around like this?


    I can’t stay awake any longer


    I just want to close my eyes


    Where am I right now?


    How will anyone find me in this sea?


    Maybe I am already at the bottom of the ocean and no one will find me,


    I’m so cold…


    How am I still alive?


    Maybe I should die


    Maybe I should survive


    Am I human?


    All this cold,


    I miss the warmth


    What warmth?


    When have I ever felt warm before?


    …..


    I remember


    I remember


    I remember when I was a little girl,


    Everything was warm,


    No?


    Yes!


    I remember that, my mother was a former royal guard, my father was a merchant, my brother, he was much older than me,


    We hardly spoke he kept to himself,


    Mother said it was because he was training to be a royal guard,


    So, I never bothered him,


    I remember this?


    No.


    Yes,


    I remember going to school as a little girl, there was this boy there Apollo,


    He was scrawny, and would always spend his time alone reading,


    I liked him but he would always get scared of me,


    He was afraid of everyone,


    I heard he was the prince’s cousin,


    Why does he act so cowardly,


    He would always come to school injured or bruised


    Omari said his cousin was a klutz, I believed that,


    I remember


    I became friends with that boy, it took a while but he finally warmed up to me,

    I remember….


    How do I remember this?


    I remember, coming home from school one day,


    Everything was quiet,


    There were also some screams down the street in other houses,


    I was scared


    “Mother!?” I called


    “Father!?” no answer


    “Brother!?” my house was silent,


    I remember the sound of the screams and yells beginning light up the city


    I was confused,


    The floor outside the kitchen was wet and red


    When I went inside everything felt cold


    My mother lay with her head across the counter, her throat was slit open with the red substance leaking onto the floor


    There was still food on the stove


    It smelt good


    It still felt cold


    I wanted to vomit


    A drop of red fell onto my head


    It was cold


    I looked up


    My father was the roof frozen


    His face was there of saddened agony


    I didn’t know what to do


    I screamed I ran


    I screamed I ran


    I screamed I ran


    I remember this


    Why am I remembering this?


    These are Lyra’s memories,


    Am I Lyra?


    No,


    Why were they so vivid?


    Where is Lyra?


    Why am I remembering your memories?


    Have you died?


    Was this your plan


    I remember…


    No,


    No more


    I don’t want to see anymore!
